From what I read at Deace's blog and Iowa Independent, that's going to be a problem for Mr. Krishna.<BR/><BR/> I was just interested to see Steve say that part of Gopal's critics are "anonymous internet posters". Anonymous internet criticism has long been a favorite target of Deacer, even back when he was doing sports talk. To me, that offhand comment indicates that Steve is considering using his radio show to help Gopal. Maybe not to win the chairmanship this election, but more like a long term strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-41574481825639236192009-01-07T17:26:00.000-06:002009-01-07T17:26:00.000-06:00Notice Gopal ran to Deace first.

The talk of candidates dropping or running for different positions is probably being floated by the top two candidates in hopes of weakening some support from the reamining four.<BR/> <BR/>The Scheffler block has some power to play Rod Blago and sell some votes- probably 3-4 still remain in his pocket. Enough for either to maybe get to 9. The price? Naming the ED would be solid guess.<BR/>As far as running a "ticket" of two candidates that is a little troublesome since the two positions are separate elections and the Co-Chair post has a popular incumbent.<BR/>Randall would be an excellent Treasurer if not our Chair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-45548017895631714742009-01-07T15:13:00.000-06:002009-01-07T15:13:00.000-06:00Does Gopal not realize that with his childish and ...Does Gopal not realize that with his childish and petty statements, he is not only proving himself a hypocrite, but also proving true all the allegations made against him in 2000? <BR/><BR/>If Gopal doesn't get his way, then he's going to make it hell for everyone else.
